On December 12, 2001 Houston practitioners went to a kindergarten in League City and taught the children Dafa exercises. The mayor of League City, Tommy Frankovich, issued a proclamation to Falun Gong on May 13, 2000 on the occasion of the first World Falun Dafa Day. To let more citizens know and understand Falun Gong, and especially to bring the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance to children's hearts, Houston practitioners introduced Falun Gong to children and teachers at the kindergarten. Children followed the exercises carefully and told practitioners, "I love you." Some children said they were going to tell their parents what they learned. Children are the future of the world, so it is important for them to understand the principles of Truth-Compassion-Tolerance.
